I am SO HAPPY to have Out Music Award winner Jason Walker back on the site - this time around as part of a monumental new pop/dance callabo with two-time Grammy nominated dance producer Tony Moran and American gospel singer-turned electronic dance music phenomenon Chris Willis. Even more, the accompanying visionary video was directed by my friend and long-time ESP contributor Karl Giant. It's like a long-time-coming reunion and melange of talent that I couldn't be happier to present! Watch the video below.

“With all that's happening in the world today, isn't that what everyone wants: to be happy and feel good,” wonders Jason Walker from his home in New York City. “The dance floor is my happy place. It’s where I can forget my troubles and let the music take over. For me, music is the universal truth and when a hard beat pulses through my body, there is simply no better feeling than that. My hope is that ‘So Happy’ lifts listeners to their own place of pure joy.”

When deciding on a location to shoot the song’s music video, videographer Karl Giant – who has shot videos for Cyndi Lauper, Ultra Nate, and The One’s - had in mind a destination that was a bit grander in scale than a dance floor. He whisked Walker to a land of breathtaking panoramas and transcendent realities.

“We went to the Salt Flats in Utah!” Walker explains. “It turned out to be one of the most exhilarating, life-changing experiences ever. Five days in the desert was insanely riveting.”

Jason Walker once had a dream of reinvigorating the ailing dance music scene. Today, he's a chart-topping Billboard artist with two number ones, multiple top tens and a debut album, This is My Life, that has remained in the iTunes Top 100 Dance Albums for nearly a year and a half.

With famed producers Junior Vasquez and Quentin Harris behind him, Walker's new album, Flexible, promises to delivery no less than his first... combining R&B, classic house and superb vocal flexibility. Watch Jason Walker, the skinny white boy with the pipes and personality of a full-figured soul sister, as he nearly goes crazy in Flexible's first single "I Can't Get You Off My Mind"... a video directed by the fantastic Karl Giant (Ultra Nate's "Automatic" and Stevie Jewel's "One Last Kiss").
